Etiology-Based Dental and Craniofacial Diagnostics explores the role of embryology and fetal pathology in the assessment, diagnosis, and subsequent treatment planning of a wide range of disorders in the dentition and craniofacial region. Initial chapters cover various aspects of normal dental and craniofacial development, providing the necessary biological background for understanding abnormal patient cases. Chapters then focus on the etiology behind a wide range of cases observed in everyday practice—including deviations in tooth morphology and number, tooth eruption, root and crown resorption, and craniofacial malformations, disruptions and dysplasia. Unique new work from a leading authority in orthodontics, craniofacial embryology and fetal pathology Demonstrates how human prenatal development offers unique insights into postnatal diagnosis and treatment Clinical significance and implications are highlighted in summaries at the end of each chapter Ideal for postgraduate students in orthodontics, paediatric dentistry and oral medicine
The prenatal human cranium deals with the development of the human cranium before birth. It is divided into two parts, one focusing on normal development and the other on pathologic development. In a systematic, atlas-like section on normal development, an account is given of where, when and how bone development takes place both within the individual bones and as regards the developmental sequence among the bones. Details are also given of brain development and the development of the last eight years has shown a close relationship between brain/nerve development and bone/tooth development. This interrelationship has enabled a bridge to be built between basic science and clinical experience and has created the basis for the biologic boundary area, neuro-osteology, which will be increasingly important in the years to come. The book is illustrated with photographs, radiographs, histological sections and drawings - all oriented in the same way in order to facilitate the readers three-dimensional perception of the complex course of development. The book is intended for both the medical and the dental team dealing with child development.
